religion for two

The purer and the more lonely, they are not alone. Are people who have the same spiritual world not soul mates? They are lucky to have each other. The director has restored the fantasy world of the couple in a wild way. The combination of reality and fantasy makes the emotional expression of the film richer, interesting and even funny. We can temporarily forget that it is a tragedy, enter the inner world of the two girls, and understand them.
Never seeing each other is the most terrifying ending of this story, but there is an ending beyond the ending. This movie is a continuation of their story. The script they wrote when they were young was put on the screen in the form of a play within a play. This is not exactly them. A young dream? The reality is cruel, but the movie is a dream, as beautiful as the fourth world they created. Even if we can't meet again, someone makes this dream no longer a fantasy. The dreams we once had, if you don't write them, will always be dreams, and if you don't do them, they will be dreams. It belongs to the pure spiritual home of the individual, beautiful and illusory.
The most cruel scene: mother-killing, I thought it would be described in a side view, but I didn't expect it to appear alive in front of my eyes. In my fantasy, you do 10,000 things wrong and no one cares about you, but in reality, nothing can be turned back, and the tragedy happened. Part of character and part of society. The character part is too uncontrollable, and the social aspect is often powerless to change. The emotional demands of individuals and the moral norms of society are inextricably linked. I wish the society would be more tolerant towards homosexuality, and the bottom line of other emotional issues would be mentioned again.
They are already old, and maybe they will never see each other again. This movie is the end of this social event, and their story may have ended long ago.

The director's approach is unique! The connection between the virtual and the real, the correspondence between dreams and reality, I like most when Kate was hospitalized and imagined that the clay figurine at the back had cut down the doctor. The previous space transition from the canyon to the fourth world began to make the film dreamy. The latter two built a castle and Soldiers in the castle rejoicing scene, Kate becomes queen, jewelry seduces soldier and seduces mother in reality, Melanie and Kate are in bed with her shadow as the killer who had chased them before, sex scene in bed in the fourth world The projections on the film have perfectly realized the inner world of the characters, with a strong sense of drama. I like this kind of surreal dream, which is also a shortcut for the movie to express the inner world of the characters.

    Winslet only had good eyes at that time

    In 1994, Melanie Lynskey was 17 years old, and Kate Winslet was 18 years old. She was a proud, disdainful, passionate and crazy debut. Mother-killing is unforgivable, but how childish and innocent it is. At the end of the subtitle, the so-called unforgettable emotion that changed their lives was originally just an episode, but it turned into a variation by accident, so sad.

Heavenly Creatures quotes

  • [first lines]

    [Director Peter Jackson opens with the scene that should, logically, end the film: that is, the moments immediately following the murder. The girls Juliet and Pauline run screaming up the hill-path to the tea-house, sobbing and covered in blood. The scene is intercut with b&w visions of the two running across a ship deck to meet Dr. and Mrs. Hulme, whom they both refer to as their mother, as the first three exclamations of "Mummy!" demonstrate]

    Juliet Hulme: Mummy!

    Pauline Parker: Mummy!

    Juliet Hulme: Mummmmy!

    [the scene changes from the ship to the hilltop tea-house. The girls are screaming hysterically as the tea-house woman runs out to see what the noise is all about]

    Pauline Parker: It's Mummy! She's terribly hurt!

    Juliet Hulme: Please! Help us!

  • John: [Chasing Pauline on his bike] Yvonne! Stop! I still love you! Yvonne!

    [Juliet and Pauline look out the train window at him, and grin to each other]

    Pauline Parker: [voiceover] Compared with these two, every man is a fool. The world is most honoured that they should deign to rule, and I worship the power of these lovely two, with that adoring love known to so few.
